Where do you get this idea that people not in paid employment are all lazy?

Sorry typo. Trussell Trust. The link is here http://www.trusselltrust.org/how-it-works

You really are a berk, aren't you?

Look up Tressell Trust and read their website. Find out for yourself.

He donates to food banks while hanging around outside them to see who uses them.

As has been mentioned more than once, you CANNOT just then up and collect free food. For God's sake read about it.

Cue laughter, more like.

You'll note if you follow it ( assuming you can) that that is what I was doing.. Until someone chose to make a sarcastic reference to my IQ.

Considering you started it with the remark about my IQ, that's rich. I take it you include yourself.

It's worth pointing out to those unaware, including government ministers as well as posters on here, that you can't just "turn up" at a food bank and "get free food". Only people genuinely in crisis are given vouchers by doctors, etc. I'm sure government ministers and people who quote Socrates...

You lost the debate several posts back.

Probably. Either that or you're a knob.

But the discussion wasn't about whether there was a solution. It was about whether there was a problem. And there is a problem, whether there's 19,000 or 913,000.

Argument fail.

No. Assuming you were addressing me. But it might occur to me to wonder if those people were picking up food on behalf of someone else who isn't able to make the trip.

If a million visits have been made, a million visits have been made. I'm struggling to see the difference between 1 million people being unable to afford food once, and a lesser number being unable to afford it more than once.

And how many visits to food banks have been made by people who have simply blown all their money on non essentials? No doubt you'll have some sort of idea as you're so sure it happens.

Normally it's a largish basket/ cage which you would pass after going through the checkouts.

Only 19,000 families unable to afford food. Well, that's alright then.

This is about food banks. It's not unreasonable to feel entitled to eat.
